If you are looking for a videographer, look no further! Rhys & his team were amazing to work with. They captured every detail of our day beautifully. The highlight reel turned out even better than we could have hoped, and we love that we can rewatch our ceremony and reception for years to come. Rhys was very responsive throughout the planning process. The day of, they arrived early, & we barely noticed the cameras the entire day. I highly recommend working with Rhys and his team.

White Quill Creative

  • Serves Palatine, IL

I wasn't born with a camera in hand, but I was born with a passion for telling stories. I started college with dreams of becoming a young adult writer, but a screenwriting seminar taught me that video can tell a story more powerful than words alone ever could. Now, instead of dreaming up fictional love stories, I get to document real ones.

My husband and I worked with Chelsea at White Quill Creative to film our wedding at the Art Institute of Chicago last summer, and were absolutely thrilled with that decision. During the planning process, she was so easy to work with, professional and helpful. The day of our wedding, she was a great addition to our team and we enjoyed having her there. And the quality of our videos! OMG! They turned out amazing, and we've still been sharing them and rewatching them regularly. I highly recommend White Quill (and I do to all of my friends who are planning weddings regularly) - you'll enjoy working with Chelsea and the videos to capture your big day.

Video Reflections

  • Storytelling style
  • Serves Palatine, IL

In 2005 Tim started capturing wedding stories and founded Video Reflections. In 2018 his sons Trevor and Aaron caught his passion. Trevor, the lead videographer and editor, captures the imagination of couples with his out-of-the-box creativity. Aaron, assistant videographer and graduate of Columbia College Film School, is a visionary filmmaker. His portfolio includes several short films, documentaries and viral stop motion animations. In 2019 Abby joined the family team and now assists Tim with his recent addition of wedding photography.

I was looking very hard for a videographer that met our budget and delivered a high quality product. I spent more time searching for a videographer than any other wedding vendor because I was not happy with the majority of videographers I found on the internet. Video Reflections was one of only a few I contacted because I was impressed with the quality and artistry of their work. When we met Tim and Trevor, we were very happy with their professionalism and caring. They rolled with our unconventional plans, meeting us again a week before the wedding to make sure they understood our plans so they could capture them. We ended up buying the package that included a highlight video and a documentary and we are so happy with our decision. We were very budget conscious with our wedding but we knew that we wanted to prioritize the photography and videography so that we had the priceless memories. They are very reasonably priced compared to other videographers, but I would not have spent the money for a sub-par videographer if I did not like their portfolio. They did a wonderful job and were very calm and supportive the day of our wedding-very easy to work with. I loved seeing the parts of the day I missed and remembering parts that had flown by in the rush of it all, which, sadly, was a lot. My highest recommendation.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Trey and team. Trey truly took the time to learn about us as individuals, who we are together, what mattered to us most, and our vision for our wedding day. He is personable and professional and will truly feel like a friend that you are excited to see when the big day comes. Our video turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and it is such a treasure to have such an elegantly captured representation of our day to look back on. It has also been the perfect way to share our experience with family and friends who weren’t able to make it. Watching the days events unfold through the perspective of a guest is such a cool experience and had us falling in love with the day all over again. Working with Trey was a flawless and stress free experience and took the pressure off us because he really was able to lead our team through the events seamlessly. We are so happy with the finished products down to being obsessed with the song choices he picked. He took all our feedback and ideas into consideration and just made our video spectacular. He is truly an artist in videography and we cannot recommend working with him enough!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was planning my wedding, I got a lot of opinions on how to cut costs and I heard often “skip a videographer”. I heard everything from “we never watched ours” to “I paid and big moments were missing” to “the selection of music is awkward and it ruins it”. I of course was slightly nervous when I decided to do a videographer, and reflecting on my experience, I have to conclude that all of those opinions were from couples who didn’t hire the right videographer. Along with my wedding planner, Katie from 97 films was actually my vendor who knew me the best. Having her and the team at my wedding actually relaxed me because it felt like my friend was just there to celebrate me and my now husband. I originally hired Katie and 97 Films because she offered something I have never heard of or seen before. A DAY OF video. So she literally shoots your wedding prep/ceremony and produces a film THAT SAME DAY. My husband and I had some older family members in attendance that we wanted to share our day with and wow did Katie deliver. I still do not understand how this came together so quickly. I had a lot of beautiful things at my wedding but our day of video was the surprise that kept coming up as a crowd favorite. Everyone was floored, I was floored, my husband was floored. My reaction was caught by my photographer (see attached) and it sums up exactly how I felt. We then got ANOTHER video of our wedding very quickly and it also made me cry ugly tears. The music, the shots, the moments that were included - everything is so perfect. The day flew by but I am able to relive the most important moments over and over again. But don’t take my word for it, watch them here and see what it’s like when you hire the right videographer. Day of -https://vimeo.com/863382701 Wedding -https://vimeo.com/873542736 Talent wise, Katie is in another league, all shots are flattering, perfectly framed with a clear eye for beauty. There’s no “fluff” added to make a certain length video, both my videos are cohesive, romantic and custom. She really is a storyteller who just happens to also be skilled with a camera. Somehow even better than the actual talent was the experience and prep for the videos. Katie, my husband and I met to get some behind the scene footage and for her to learn more about us. Every meeting and interaction with her was so relaxed and we all ended up having lunch together because it felt so natural. Basically working with Katie is like lucking into having a best friend who also happens to be the best cinematographer. Coming into my wedding day I had no nerves, and didn’t feel the need to micromanage because I knew I’d be happy. My advice-don’t skip the videographer, but make sure you hire the right one. Katie is the right one.

Caleb Lee Productions is a family-owned wedding videography company operating out of Bartlett, IL. We are a husband-and-wife duo that is devoted to creating custom life event films. We look forward to capturing the uniqueness of your love story, with every detail and moment accounted for. Combining Caleb's passion for filmmaking with Brittany's strengths as a coordinator we aim to give you a seamless videography experience and an elegant final piece.

Rosanna & Co. is very fortunate to have connected with Caleb Lee Productions. Caleb and Brittany were a kind, patient, and attentive video team for a February 2023 couple at The Drake Chicago. Our couple was really excited to work with Caleb and Brittany after their initial phone consultation--they felt very confident and comfortable when it came time for them to capture video on their wedding day. While Caleb and Brittany were present and professional as they worked, they were also very under-the-radar—organically capturing and documenting the couple, their day, and their details without interfering. Caleb truly knows what it means to be a part of a vendor team—ready and willing to work with the venue and other vendors to make sure the day is a success for everyone involved. His use of a drone and go-pros was the perfect way to capture this couple’s gorgeous décor, rooftop photos, and lively dance floor. And the icing on the cake? The turnaround time is quick.

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s very important that the photographers and videographers not only get along with, but work well together. Making sure you’re not in each others shots and staying creative through the day. We had a great time working alongside Lawrence and his second videographer. I highly recommend them for your big day!

I am Angela; owner, lead photographer, and wedding film director. My husband, Zac, is my favorite teammate and covers lead (gimbal) videography, or 2nd shooting (photography). We've been photographing and filming weddings together since 2010! He has a storytelling perspective, while I love details and intimacy. The tension between the two creates such a romantic vibe! When you need a larger team, we pull in our favorite colleagues - professionals in their own right - to work with us for the day. We have very close peer-vendor relationships with a solid group of amazing artists we work with regularly.

We can’t say enough about Angela and her team. Her professionalism, creativity and expertise made the picture taking and video of our wedding very special. It was very clear that they have extensive experience and we found ourselves being very comfortable working with them to capture the moments on our special day. Her follow-up and results truly exceeded our expectations and their fee was very reasonable. I should note that we had a Covid wedding and they managed to all of the concerns and special situations which we appreciated. Angela and her team will always be remembered as being part of our “family” and in sharing in our day. We highly recommend Almost Fantasy. If we could give more than a 5 star rating, we would!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

We couldn't have been happier to hire Emily for our videography. Like many other 2020 couples, we downsized our event to be an intimate ceremony. We last minute decided to hire a videographer, and luckily for us Emily was available! Our day was pretty chaotic with a lot of moving pieces, and she went with the flow with patience and kindness. By the end of the night, we felt like she had been a friend forever. The video is absolute perfection, and we are so thankful she saved the day last minute and gave us an impressive video to share with our family and friends who could not be in attendance. If we could give more than 5 stars on every category, we would!
